NIGHT PRAYER

Comfort me with Your love O God
Wrap me up in Your strong embrace
Shelter me from the storm O Lord
Envelop me in Your tender care
By day I pour out my heartbreak to You
By night I give you my racing thoughts
In You I take refuge
In You I will not be afraid
For you hold me strong, You hold me safe
Calm my fearful heart O God
Still my anxious mind O Lord
For all my life is found in You
All my being is given to You
All my hope begins in You

I found this prayer on Facebook and tought it was a beautiful way to start the new prayer thread.

There was a beautiful picture with it too, but I don’t know how to transfer that.

sorry, that sounds a bit grumpy at you, which it is not meant to be. just fed up at medics not understanding that dd reacts in different ways as she has hypermobility syndrome, (some researchers think it is the same as hEDS) and my EDS was missed for 30 years, depsite presenting with pain..

Of all the names I've called myself over the years and there have been a lot I've never called myself a zebra before..

I realised this week that I've been beating myself up massively over my issues and that because of needing to hide them for over 40 years now that no longer works and is actually making things harder for me for many years I've bullied myself for feeling like I do and that's now a problem too.

It's never been this bad before but I've only myself and all I hear from medics is if things were as bad as I say then people would be making contact without me initiating it...

tis the logo of the EDS society... they have a good story with it as well, but probably only to us newbies, not the old hands like you,

ds has been up inthe night and I am not fully funtioning.

Ah yes I'd forgotten about that.

I was up all night too but anxiety was what kept me awake. No idea why it's so bad. I desperately need food and weather dreadful here today.

Hope everyone has a good day.

I managed to go out. Hoping to rest a bit this afternoon but if I can't I'm not going to put myself through what I went through yesterday afternoon.

I made the mistake of taking a lemsip tablet - I forgot it can make jittery

Been doing a bit of sewing too. Finding it a bit distracting. My prayers are a mess, but I did manage to give thanks every time something has gone right today.

dd has already lost £12 of school equipment the first time she took it to school. I have wept.

pray that it will be found and that we can put some support in for her.

Oh no bes is there a chance it's been misplaced not lost?

grr. ex bought them back an hour and a half late. an hour and a half after the time ds needed his medicine. I get phonecalls every single week from ds saying he wants to come home. dd comes home shattered and falls asleep in the kitchen.

Might have hospital tomorrow or GP can't do both. Hospital is test equipment but don't have money for both.

Feeling dreadful.

good luck with an apointment.

I am shattered did not sleep until 2 am. could nto sleep yesterday afternoon as had an appointment that did not turn up.

I had a dreadful night full of wierd nightmares and then woke early and couldn't get back to sleep. Feeling really unwell, my diabetes is all over the place, so seeing a GP and cancelled hospital.

Feeling very confused about everything.

GP appointment turned out to be with a bloody first year student (not even qualified) who knew nothing at all about EDS or autonomic issues and I was expected to sit there explaining everything, because as he said he must learn somehow, having waited over an hour and a half to see him (I was next no one in front!)vand then go through exactly the same thing again with a GP. Who also didn't have a clue either.

The advice? Pop back next week and see my GP and monitor my blood sugars and no pain/infection/weather cannot effect blood sugars and I'm just to stop my meds and eat more and to ignore the head/eye pain there's some sort of virus in the community it's fine.

All that took over an hour.

Livid doesn't even begin to cover it.

When I left I was told it was my responsibility to ask if the person I'm seeing is a student or not. It's supposed to be on my notes no students.

So wasted my whole morning on that. Blood sugars been everywhere since because obviously I missed food and meds as a result.

Feeling dreadful and scared. Have social worker tomorrow and I'm terrified.

Praying for an early night and to be more calm. I hope you don't mind the vent!

complaint to practice manager?

ffs. eds is specialist territory as it effects everything..

PS I shall find the study about patients experience of HCPs... bit busy today, I have buried the work surfaces in a long overdue clear out of the kitchen cupboards.

They told me to ask not to be seen by student every time I ring and if I don't want to be seen by one to accept I likely won't be seen at all as there's not enough GPs and if it's to do with my condition to wait until I see my GP.

Calmness never happened either as I got really upset after posting and couldn't sleep. Dreading appointment now

Appointment was upsetting but ok I guess.
Am really struggling now though.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get some rest tonight.

Mum has had a fall and is on the way to hospital,50 miles away.

I'm sorry to hear that bes I hope she's ok.

Sorry you are both having such a rough time. I'm praying for you both this evening.
That you get some peace and sleep Becca, that you get the medical support you need speedily and that you feel better soon.
Blackeyed - I pray for your mum, its so hard when they are so far away, and for you and your children.

There's something I need to say and I pray you'll allow me to continue to post because it's really really hard for me.

So I found out that I've been excommunicated from my community over the whole insistence I did the therapy and the difficulties and impact that's had on my life over the last six weeks or so. I am devastated. I feel I can no longer access support I could before and though I can still pray if I want I feel like an orphan.

I won't do the therapy, it's devasted me losing this valuable source of support and prayer that I relied upon so much. I tried speaking to someone locally but that didn't go at all well.

Will you support me instead, please? It's ok if not.

Of course I will continue to pray for you. I lift you to the Lord, may He wrap you in His arms, may He make the paths clear for you and guide you along the path He planned for you. You are never alone. I don't know anything about you, your faith community or your experiences beyond your recent posts here, but there is faith and faith works of support beyond your community, so I pray you find the human support and acceptance you need.

Thankyou. That means a lot to me.

Of course we will still pray for you. Try to rest in the Lord, if at all possible clear your mind of everything apart from one word or sentence, like Lord jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner. That is a powerful prayer and yo can pray that over and over again. Nothing else, just that. Will you try?
